Home Sweet Home

 September 13, 2024

Always nice to see the rising sun in my windshield at the end of a trip.  I arrived HOME this afternoon around 1:00.   I had some misgivings when I was in Conifer, CO that the remnants of Hurricane Francine in New Orleans would push their way inland with lots of rain and wind and then chase me all the way back to CT.  But it turned out, I was able to stay ahead of it and had good weather all the way.

Must have been a muggy August here in CT as my leather couch had a bunch of moldy spots which had to clean off.  Other than that, things appear to be in good shape.  My thanks to those who stopped by periodically to see that my house was okay.

About 6,000 miles of driving and of course, the Alaska adventure on top of that.  I'm glad to have the comforts of my own house again but did not have the kind of homesickness as in previous summers, probably because I only spent about 5 weeks camping instead of 9 and had it easy in the lodge and in B&L's house.  

I got to thinking I never did tell Brian where babies come from but I see he came up with an answer:

I guess that's quicker but a heck of a lot less fun!

Well, my favorite time of the year is coming up with fall colors and hunting season.  Glad to be back home.
